Solution-Focused Valentine

I wish I could be as small
As this partnered pair
Of red finches in my yard
 
The humble one and the proud one
Pecking away and bouncing
On this cold morning
 
To be blithe and beautiful
As I am but without all
The weight and forethought
 
To wear my red feathers bravely
And my brown feathers calmly
To have solved the problem of twoness
 
By being both and neither
Nowhere and anywhere
Coming and going
